Eric Adams Mulls Dropping Out After Secret Meeting

“Facing a swirl of questions about a potential job in the Trump administration, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City stood outside City Hall on Thursday and suggested he was not going anywhere,” the New York Times reports.

“But in private, Mr. Adams has told a small group of friends and advisers that he is seriously considering job opportunities that could prompt him to suspend his re-election campaign.”

“The talks about Mr. Adams’s future have involved intermediaries for President Trump, including Steve Witkoff, a New York real estate investor who is one of Mr. Trump’s closest advisers. The mayor and Mr. Witkoff conferred in Florida this week in a previously undisclosed meeting.”
